Hello friends, and a good Wednesday morning to you. Welcome to “Mo’ Musings.” These are just little thoughts that randomly enter my head, guide you to what I want to share, and more. Hope you enjoy! I went out with some girlfriends Saturday night. At some point, I mentioned to my friend Amanda that I […]
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”
Turns out, not all of Albert Einstein's smarts were related to science. Anyways…. This is going to be a post filled with random things I've learned over the past few weeks. In Detroit, it takes an hour and a half for the police to arrive at the scene of a (non-injury) car accident, but less […]
Once upon a time, at a school not so far away…
… a girl had a party at her off-campus apartment. She invited people far and wide from across the campus, and they promised to come, and bring friends even! And so the girl, we'll call her Mo, began preparations for the party. As it was Christmas, Mo hung Christmas lights around her apartment, covered an […]
“Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes,…
… and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." - Ada Louise Huxtable So here we are, July 1st. Exactly six months left of 2011. Which makes it a great time […]
“Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.”
Thank you, Jim Davis. Hello. My name is Monique, and I'm an emotional eater. I also eat out of boredom, because I like the taste of food, and, in a sense, it's an addiction. And then of course, I eat because it's a necessity. Given the amount of diet programs, self help books, pills, supplements, DVDs, […]
It’s Oh So Quiet
So I've been really quiet lately, I know. There's been a few reasons for that but the two most outstanding reasons are that 1) I'm too afraid to step on a scale, and b) work has been keeping me super busy. Why am I so afraid to step on a scale? Well, I admit. My […]
Come To Your Senses!
Two weeks ago, I posted my first attempt at copying Daily Candy's Weekend Guide. I've decided I'd like to make this a weekly post (or at the very least a twice monthly post), and so without further ado…. FEAST YOUR EYES ON… I came to hear about Tess Gerritsen last summer when TNT aired a […]
I’m Shrinking!
Last week was a tough week, not going to lie. Between having the stomach flu and a few things going incredibly wrong at work, it was "just one of those weeks." Which is why my blogging has been nil, zero, nada. The bad news: this week seems to be picking up where last week left […]
I want candy! Daily Candy that is….
Once upon a time, I lived in the major metropolitan city of Chicago. One day, the beautiful Mo tripped across something leading her to a wonderful daily email from a website called Daily Candy. These daily emails were devoted to helping Chicago aficionados find the new, unusual, and best things in Chicago. My how I […]
Happy New Me! (or Year of the Mo as I like to say!)
Being the daughter of a teacher and a student myself for 17 years, my new year always seemed to start in September rather than January. With my dad retiring after 40 years, and myself being done with school for the better party of 15 years now, January has once again rightfully established itself as New […]
